| Additional Information: | The Viesselman House, built in 1860, is a two-story gable-ell farmhouse. Resting on a fieldstone foundation, the walls are clad in cream brick. The moderately pitched roof is covered with asphalt shingles and has boxed eaves, cornice returns, and wide frieze boards. The main entrance is in the leftmost bay of the projecting front gable on the south-facing main elevation, and contains a wooden door with three-quarter sidelights and a transom. A secondary entrance is located in the central bay of the ell, also on the main elevation. Both entrances are sheltered by the single-story front porch, which is supported by turned posts with decorative brackets and a spindle frieze. Fenestration is regular, with hooded segmental brick arch windows containing replacement six-over-six, vinyl, double-hung sash. A semicircular window lights the attic below the peak of the front gable. Two cream brick interior chimneys extend above the ridgeline of the roof: one at the west gable end of the ell and the other at the junction of the ell and main block. The property contains three modern horse barns, as well as a c.1940 gable-roof, detached, one-car garage, clad in drop siding. A small c.1970 secondary residence is located to the west of the main house; the property owner believes this building incorporates one end wall of a historic pig barn. The single-story side-gable building has board-and-batten siding, a low-pitched asphalt shingle roof, and a foundation clad in stone veneer. |
